Changes in the Twosome Team...!

Not long ago, we carefully protected Darsh from Vasu, lest Vasu could harm the infant Darsh. Simultaneously, we let Vasu interact with Darsh quite freely, for it is important and a must between brothers. In the beginning, any lapse resulted into tiny Darsh erupting into bitter painful cries. For instance, once Vasu harshly bit some days old Darsh's tiny tender fingers between his strong milk teeth to leave clear teeth marks etched in his fingers. Yup, that was very bad. We doubled our vigilance from then on. Time passed and we needed to be less and less cautious about Vasu being with Darsh, on their own. And now that Darsh is three years old, Vasu and Darsh are more like friends than brothers. They play together and team up in their mischiefs. The latest favorite game up their sleeve all the time is role playing. Some six months ago, it used to be enacting power rangers' stunts or copying Shin Chan's whacky bum-show. Now, they take up roles of Harry-Ron and more frequently Ram-Lakshman. A stick in their hand and they become the wand holding pair of wizards. Anything that looks like a bow, including hangers in the almirah, stimulates them to take up the Ramayana act. Interestingly, Darsh becomes Ram and Vasu becomes Lakshman. One day I overheard and kind of silently observed their play। Vasu lied down, Darsh standing by his side... loudly delivering his dialogues, "कुम्भकरण!मेघनाद! तुमने मेरे भाई लक्ष्मण को क्यों मारा!... आओ अब मुझसे युद्ध करो !... मैं तुम्हे सबक सिखाऊंगा!" (Kumbhkaran! Meghnaad! How dare you attacked my brother Lakshman. Now get ready for a fight with me! Dare to fight me, I'll teach you a lesson!) Just three, I wonder how and when did Darsh learn so much of Ramayana? I was thoroughly amused. [:)]
